Smiles Ville:
-----------
Aele’s Smiles Ville is relatively similar to that of Reitanna’s. There are however, key differences. The most prominent difference is how to area looks and operates. The sky in Aele’s Encephalon is a bright, energizing, and absolutely gorgeous red, as opposed to the calm blue of Reitanna’s Smilesville. The red here is not the menacing red as depicted in Reitanna’s Wayward City, but rather refreshing. The clouds are of a pure gold color, and their taste is said to be sweet and indescribably delectable. This is because everybody tastes something different. More to that, you can even sleep on the clouds, but the clouds are used more for culinary than rest. The sunsets are incomparable bright and colorful, as well as beautiful. Since there is no actual Sun, this spectacle happens when the Sunflowers and Moonflowers are open at the same time. When this happens, the endorphins of the people are at it’s highest peak for the day, and the endorphins mix with the chemicals of the flowers, creating an illusion of light. The sky turns multiple shades of every color and in turn, gives off a naturally-induced, non-toxic chemical reaction that induces slight mania on all of the Alternatives, as well as temporarily making the people of Smiles Ville happier for about 10 minutes. However, as the glories display comes every time the Sun sets, there are moments when the Alternatives are not affected. Aisyle always suffers from the mania, and the chemicals only make it worse, so she has to lock herself up.
The streets are speckled with gold, and are primarily made of lavender marble. The marble streets are lined with pink olive trees, as well as incense burners, giving off the smell of sweet golden olives. The grass there is teal, and if you choose to eat it, it tastes like honey. The architect of this glorious villa is Aisyle, who is the most creative out of all of the Alternatives. She pulled everything out of her imagination, and is the leader of this quadrant.
The style of clothing is festive. Everything is oriental and creative, and all outfits are intricately designed. Hair can be worn in all assortments, but Aisyle chooses to keep it down because she likes being without restraint. Usually, decorative headwear is worn by women, but Aisyle usually doesn’t wear anything too fancy, as she was always more laid back than the others. Her costume consists of oranges, blues, yellows, greens, whites, and browns.
The animals that live in Smiles Ville are all rustic and beautiful. There are flying, well floating, fish. Floating fish who swim around in the air in multiple areas of Smiles Ville. These fish are referred to a Dragonfish, as their color scheme is similar to that of a Chinese Dragon. They are surprisingly calm and sweet, contrary to popular belief. Many people keep them as pets. Pterodactyls are also kept as pets, as well as Dragons, Unicorns, and other exotic pets.
There are no cars. Most people choose to fly, although some do walk. They either ride a Pegasus, drink a potion to get temporary wings, or get a pet dragon to ride around.
There is a forest called “Candy Forest”. It is similar to Willy Wonka’s candy world, except one small thing. Any candy that hasn’t been invented, or any flavor that you so desire will appear if you simply ask. Anyone can create their own flavors and each candy is there for forever. If you create something nasty, you can choose to get rid of it.
There are multiple festivals, and multiple foods grow in Smiles Ville. Foods such as Blapples were added to Aele’s Encephalon, and foods that were originally there were sea grapes, rice cake, and macaroons.
The homes in Smiles Ville can be anything that you want! Aele lives in a giant snail shell, the opening consisting of only stained glass windows of every color imaginable. The carpet is real, luscious teal grass and the stairs leading to the second level of the shell house are made of the gemstone Opal. She has an aquarium in her bathroom, and her bedroom has a crystal tree in it. The rood has gemstones of different kinds hanging off of it, and the walls have flowers of different arrays climbing up them. Her bed is a giant flower, and the petals are very soft. The petals keep her warm and safe when the flower encloses her whilst she is sleeping. Aisyle sleeps and resides in a decently sized wooden mansion with marble floors. She sleeps in a large hammock.

Recalcitrant Quadrant:
-----------------------
Much like Reitanna’s Wayward City, much crime is legal here. The sky however, is not a menacing red, but rather; a gloomy grey. There are always dark grey clouds in the sky, as if it’s about to rain, but it never does. In fact, the clouds are impenetrable, and it keeps the rain away. When the clouds temporarily subside, hundreds of pounds of toxic water rain down at the same time, leading to multiple deaths in the recalcitrant quadrant. The sidewalk is made of layers of metal, and nothing can move or break it. It is filthy, covered in rust, blood, bile, and all sorts of disgusting things. This Quadrant is quite glum, and relies more on facts, knowledge, freedom of will, and Loreli’s incredible leadership skills more than anything else. No animals live in the Recal Quad, as it is inhabitable for them. There is no grass, few trees, and the monsters that live in the area have no empathy for other beings. The architect of this area is Loreli, as she is the most psychopathic out of the Alternatives, it makes sense that she would create a world where she could do whatever she wanted without creating a scandal. Aele’s three others live in Recal as well. Her Bipolar other, Elea, lives in between Shishiru and Loreli. Her PTSD other, Lealon lives with her anxiety other, Noleala, in the middle of suicide forest. Other residents are here with familiar names such as; Naomi, Sara, Cordelia, Shishiru, Tempest, Volere, and more.
The fashion in the area is describes as risqué, yet elegant. In fact, Loreli prances around in a dark red corset top with a white feathered shirt accompanied with a long train. The most popular fashion trend is mixing pinup styles with lingerie and seeing what you come up with.
Cars are illegal in this quadrant, as the air quality is too horrible to bring even more pollution to their society. Everybody walks here, or rides bikes or scooters.
There is a forest called suicide forest. It is where people go to commit suicide on suicide day, however other people actually choose to ride the euthanasia Coaster, which is a strata coaster with a G-force of 10 designed to kill it’s riders. The concept was put into place by Julionjus Urbonus, originally built by that Jisatsu Brothers from Reitanna’s Encephalon, and revised by Evelyn and Shishiru, the masterminds of a millennia. By ‘revise’, I mean to say that they rebuilt the coaster, but added a few new assets to it. Now, anyone who wants to ride can listen to music as they die! Not only that, but they can receive their final meal request before going onto the Coaster, but I’d recommend going on Suicide Day, else you have to pay for your food. Before death, you can choose to have your body turned into multiple things; a doll, a gem, cremated, buried, thrown off the edge of Encephalon, or put into the unknown quadrant. If you don’t choose anything, your body will be donated to Clarity Way for medical purposes, or stay in Recal for… other things.
The homes in Recalcitrant are in horrid condition. Some places are missing patches of wall, have torn curtains, and tattered floors, whereas other places (such as Loreli’s) are glorious mansions. Loreli lives in a giant factory in a style mimicking a mansion. This factory is one of the most important areas in encephalon, as it controls dreams, memories, and how Aele dictates her actions. Emily is the co-leader, and she lives in a giant violin case, and sleeps on bubble wrap.

Clarity Way
-------------
Next, we have Clarity Way. This quadrant is the epitome of a utopia. It is always as peaceful as it is beautiful. Everybody follows the golden rule of, “Treat others how you want to be treated.” Everybody is treated with equal respect. Of course, there are some people like Diamande that demand more attention than others, but those personalities are usually dulled down a bit, as the people of Clarity Way put small amounts of chemicals in the air that are almost undetectable, but keep the citizens calm. This place was designed by E, who is completely calm, though aloof at times.
The sky is a pristine white, the clouds being a shimmery silver, and having random and inexplicable chrome waterfalls coming straight from the sky. These waterfalls are said to hold incredible healing property, as merely touching it can cure anybody, and rejuvenate one’s age and health. There is a law here that says that you are not allowed to take this water from Clarity Way, and the punishment for doing so is being sent over the fence and into the true unknown quadrant. The streets are pure diamond, and there are specs of silver strewn about. There are also precious gemstones sprouting out of the ground, such as amethysts, opals, and much more. The residents in this area are residents such as Evelyn, E, Majesty, Elizabeth, Mermaids, Fairies, Unicorns, and most royalties choose to live here as well.
The style of clothing is elegant, though perhaps a bit over the top. E takes specific fashion icons such as Marie Antionette as her inspiration for the clothing that she wears, and as such, the rest of the Way follow in her footsteps as they look up to their leader, and admire her style of dress. Thus, most of the women choose to waltz around in long gowns, although this is not a requirement. Most people who choose not to dress this way just end up wearing modern clothing, or bathing suits, as there is a large pool filled with mermaids and beautiful glass jelly fish that are unable to sting.
The style of living is gorgeous, and pristine. E lives in a giant crystal palace, which is commonly referred to as “The Diamond Castle.” Even though the palace is made of pure Crystal and not Diamond. Living with her are the royalties. She sleeps on an elevated pillar, which encases her in hard diamond, making unbreakable and impossible to harm her. She is incredibly safe, but still remains mostly neutral to the world around her.
Once again, there are no cars. E doesn’t like how noisy and smelly they are, so she does not allow them in her Quadrant. Most of the residents here just end up walking, swimming, or flying.
-------------
Unknown
------------
Finally, we reach the last quadrant; The Unknown Quadrant, which nobody truly knows where it leads. Of course, people do want to know, but there is literally nothing. You slip through a hole in Aele’s Encephalon, and boom, you cease to exist. By this I mean, that you don’t die. You literally cease to exist and fade from the memories of your host. The only possible way to stay alive is to avoid this place, and never upset Ellie, who is the guardian of the gate, as well as the architect. The sky is the darkest of black, and the portal to Reitanna’s Encephalon is right next to the fence leading into the Unknown Quadrant, and is a white and lavender spiral.
Ellie is commonly referred to as the grim reapes, as the is the guardian of the gate, and she has not hesitated to seriously harm anyone who has tried to pass without direct permission from one of the other Alternatives.
She doesn’t have time to sleep, therefore she doesn’t. She does, however, go into a meditative trance, basically sleeping, but staying fully alert while doing so.
